between heartstrings

Chu Jiahe controlled his emotions very well, even though the corners of his eyes were red, Wei Sizhe didn't notice any obvious abnormalities.But he ignored one thing - the man in front of him focused all his eyes on him, and Wei Sizhe knew all about the slightest fluctuation in the expression on Chu Jiahe's face.

Looking away, Wei Sizhe gave the name of two dishes to the waiter, and then asked, "How is it, do you like it?"

"Yes." Chu Jiahe closed the gift box lovingly, "I like it very much."

"I ordered one meat and one vegetarian." Putting the menu at Chu Jiahe's hand, Wei Sizhe said, "You do the rest."

Chu Jiahe chose all the main dishes of Rongshan Restaurant, and he wanted Wei Sizhe to try their special food.

When the raindrops fall, the dishes are ready, and the rain slides across the glass, drawing thin and long lines.The flowers and plants in the yard are covered with a layer of hazy spring scenery, small ripples are blooming in the center of the pond, the big orange nest is sheltering from the rain under the bench, there are signs of wriggling among the grass, and a round wild hedgehog is poking its head.

Wei Sizhe tasted a spoonful of abalone juice to fish rice, it was delicious, and the gum flower chicken soup lingered in the mouth.Chu Jiahe asked: "Are you used to eating?"

Wei Sizhe replied, "I'm not picky about food."

Chu Jiahe said: "Then, is there any food you like more?"

Wiping his mouth with a tissue, Wei Sizhe picked up barley tea to moisten his throat: "Yes."

"For soup." He tapped the ceramic crock of chicken soup with his fingertips, and said, "Pumpkin soup, the kind with some lilies."

Chu Jiahe was slightly taken aback, and then burst into a "puchi" laugh.

"Snacks." Wei Sizhe pretended to be thinking hard, "Peach crisp."

"Home-cooked food, um..." Taking Chu Jiahe's smile into his eyes, Wei Sizhe said affirmatively, "Tomato beef brisket."

"Is broccoli your favorite vegetable?" Chu Jiahe asked knowingly, "Garlic flavor?"

Wei Sizhe pretended to be surprised: "So smart?"

They were all dishes that Chu Jiahe had cooked for Wei Sizhe.Supporting his arms and covering the corner of his mouth with his hands, Chu Jiahe turned his head and looked out the window, he couldn't hide his happiness, his face might be turning red and he needed to cover it up.

The two of them didn't eat much, and they didn't order much, and there was still a little leftover when they put down their chopsticks.The sky was dark and rainy in spring, and a lamp was hung above the dining table with warm yellow light. The atmosphere at this time was very suitable for chatting.

Chu Jiahe always wanted to know Wei Sizhe more deeply, and Wei Sizhe always wanted to communicate with Chu Jiahe.

The empty cup was filled with tea, and Chu Jiahe asked, "I heard from the old man that you are teaching college students?"

"Strictly speaking, it doesn't count as teaching." Wei Sizhe said, "At first, it was a friend's nephew who wanted to apply for our school. He asked me for a lot of questions about essays and studying abroad. Later, he introduced his classmates and added me. Contact information, this child told others that I am a tutor, usually busy with work, but can take online classes, and wanted me to earn extra money, but in fact I was just helping them answer questions in my field of expertise."

Chu Jiahe recalled: "Mr. Wei's school is the University of Pennsylvania?"

Wei Sizhe said "hmm", Chu Jiahe pursed his lips and asked, "What's your impression of foreign countries?"

Sensing the other party's unnatural tone, Wei Sizhe sipped warm tea. He had heard Wei Qiao mention Chu Jiahe's education background. He worked directly after graduating from junior college and did not continue his studies. There was a gap between the two of them.But Wei Sizhe, like his father, does not use objective standards as the absolute basis for subjective judgments. What they both recognize and appreciate is Chu Jiahe.

"Hey, the deepest impression." Wei Sizhe shook his head and sighed, "The food abroad is really bad."

The sip of tea he just drank almost spewed out, Chu Jiahe hurriedly took out a piece of paper, and looked at Wei Sizhe with a suppressed smile.With a pillow on his back, Wei Sizhe stretched his eyebrows to meet Chu Jiahe's gaze, and raised his eyebrows to coax him to be happy.

Knocking on Chu Jiahe's teacup, Wei Sizhe said, "I have something, I want to hear your opinion."

Folding his hands on the table, Chu Jiahe said, "Okay."

"Before I came to the nursing home, I taught a class to a student and chatted with him for a while." With a gentle voice, Wei Sizhe's eyes were curved, "He graduated this year and has already found a job, but he has been Very anxious."

Chu Jiahe was puzzled: "Anxious?"

"Economics is not what he likes. To be precise, he doesn't know what he likes, and he is always self-doubting. He said that he seems to have no dreams and hobbies since he was a child, and his life has always been "step by step". After graduating and applying for a job, he always lacks enthusiasm for studies and work, loses interest, and feels that life is boring. He is very envious of those who can do their best for their love."

After finishing the words, Wei Sizhe raised his eyebrows slightly, and handed the words to Chu Jiahe.After hearing this, Chu Jiahe lowered his eyes and smiled, and said in a calm voice, "I had the same state of mind as this student. I think I should be able to give him some advice."

Wei Sizhe expressed all his heart, Chu Jiahe thought for a moment and said: "When I was in college, I often felt panic about the future. After two years of work, I would still feel flustered and uneasy. I would often think about what I should have been to while doing what I was doing. What kind of life, what kind of road to go."

"Until one day, I suddenly had a consciousness." Chu Jiahe said, "I always seem to be dissatisfied with myself, but I can't change the status quo, so what can I do for myself?"

"Try to change your concept a little bit." Chu Jiahe looked at Wei Sizhe, "Because concept can most influence our evaluation of ourselves."

"You can tell your students with certainty that people who can live a smooth, fulfilling and peaceful life can also become the envy of many people."

Wei Sizhe was thoughtful.

"Then, try not to give yourself too many psychological hints. Once you have the idea of ​​'life is boring', it will magnify the unsatisfactory study and work, which will affect or even destroy the good mood of the day."

Chu Jiahe said: "Completing studies and applying for jobs are the only paths that most people can choose. Faced with an increasingly dull life, instead of being anxious, it is better to change your mindset and spend your time feeling life."

Wei Sizhe looked at Chu Jiahe more deeply, raised his legs, and asked, "For example?"

Chu Jiahe replied: "For example, take three meals a day seriously; for example, occasionally renovate and decorate your room; for example, go out with friends on weekends to indulge; another example, often give a little bit of encouragement to yourself who has worked hard. reward."

"Self-doubt will only bring more anxiety and troubles." Chu Jiahe said, "Slowly make your mentality stable, keep filling and enriching your heart, and then you will find that the previous confusion is no longer enough. become confused."

The thin line of rainwater was gradually broken, the sound of drizzling disappeared, the cloud was pushed away by the wind, and the sky slowly cleared.The illuminated light filled the Rongshan Restaurant, and Chu Jiahe said with a smile: "Actually, what I want to express is that whether you are experiencing a 'step-by-step' life or not, whether the road you are walking is in line with your own wishes, whether you can find it or not. Don't ignore and waste the life you have now if you like to do something."

Savoring Chu Jiahe's words carefully, Wei Sizhe was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "You really asked the right person, Chu Jiahe, you impress me."

Chu Jiahe denied: "I'm just an unknown, mediocre and ordinary person, nothing special. Mr. Wei is well-informed and good at making money. You have too many great things."

"I used to think so too." Wei Sizhe boasted frankly, but changed the subject, "But now my thinking has changed."

"The most powerful people are those who know how to live."
